I got my Rezound on monday and I got an advertisement yesterday and another one today.

It is like a little star in the Notification bar and the one yesterday said I won $1000 dollars and clicked it and it took me some page telling me I would get a $1000 gift card at Wallmart of I did several things I imeadilty closed it up.

today I got one advertising online singles daating.

don't think I have installed anything different on this phone than I had on my T-Bolt and never saw anything like this before.

Help!!

I think this link might help:

Find and Opt Out of Ads in Your Android Notification Bar
 
Some apps push ads in the phone's notification bar.

It is known as notification push advertising of companies like
AirPush
LeadBolt
Appenda
IAC
Moolah Media
TapIt
Urban Airship

If Apps contain any one of this named addons they'll push spam on the notification bar :(

'AirPush Detector' and 'Addons Detector' find this AirPush addons :)

Apps which contain such kind of addon you should uninstall and you'll get rid of this notification bar spam :)
But don't forget to write an review in Market before you uninstall!

AirPush stands as catchword for this kind of spam.
For more info you could search in this forum for AirPush.
